Dallas Atlanta

[daoneandonly]

Dallas gets: Jalen Johnson, Terrance Mann, #22, Future Atl 1st

Atlanta gets: Anthony Davis, Caleb Martin

Atlanta gets arguably the perfect player outside of Wemby to pair with Trae. AD would give the Hawks one of the best starting 5 in the East. They also turn Mann's bigger contract into Martin's smaller one.

OO
AD
Risacher
Daniel's
Trae

Dallas Hoops with the Coop time frame. This sets them up with their front court of the now and future. Unleash the Duke Boys. They can then trade PJ for a starting level guard, Monk has been talked about a lot here.

Lively/Gaff
Jalen Johnson/Naji
Cooper Flagg/Klay
PJ Trade target/Mann

That’s fresh and thoughtful

[Geaux_Hawks]

That's a negative ghost.

AD wouldn't like it, but he would have to play as the 5 next to JJ if we're trading for him. Swap JJ for OO, and i'd do it then.

And that's not even a rational counter for Dallas. Can understand if Atl wouldn't do op due to age and health, but come on, that's just insulting

I personally think this is a bit light for Dallas. Very interesting for ATL though. I think change 22 to 13 and maybe it’s there.

Never suggested it to be a rational counter. Simply not interested in AD if it's costing us JJ. That said, i'm not sure how much more Dallas would want from us if it's OO included and not JJ. I'm not throwing in Risacher. Not including Dys. Not giving up an unprotected pick. So, if it comes down to it, the proposal is just DOA, and I'm okay with that.

I could be intrigued if it was #13 + OO instead of JJ + throw in Kobe Bufkin and a 2nd if need be.

Of course you'd be intrigued, but why would Dallas even touch that?

[jayjaysee]

If Risacher and Jalen are both off the table.. what is the offer?

OO, 13, 2026, 2028 firsts? Mann, Niang, Kobe as salary filler? Meh.

I don’t think Dallas wants to trade AD unfortunately.

But for Atlanta, I think it makes the most sense to use Jalen. they’d be affordable through Risacher‘s rookie contract and the defense would be very elite around Trae

Yea I think Jalen for AD based deal really makes sense for both teams. Dallas gets a great Flagg compliment, Hawks get the perfect Trae tag team partner

The OO counters are just inexplicable

No issue with Atlanta fans wanting to keep Jalen though. He looked great and is really young still.

But if 4 starters are off the table, it becomes a volume based offer..

[CP War Hawks]

Hawks can't count on injury prone players who happen to be over 32 no matter how good they are perceived to be.

[Darren]

Beyond terrible for the Mavs. That's virtually nothing from Hawks worth the AD trade to me unless it's taking with cap space and 5 unprotected 1sts.

Oh i have no clue what they would be intrigued by im just saying what i would be ok with lol. Im perfectly fine keeping my boy JJ on the Hawks he is literally my favorite player on the entire team. I would take him over Trae going forward if i had to trade one away and i wouldn't even have to think about it.

Although lets not act like that front office won't do crazy trades they literally just traded Luka away lol. They took less value back in that trade so who can guarantee it wouldn't happen again

[daoneandonly]

WIth Hali sadly looking like eh may be out for much of next season, East is even more wide open. Yea I want AD gone from Dallas, but him and Trae, with Daniels and a sophomore Risacher could go really far in the East. They do get to dump Mann as well

For Dallas, man cant think of a more exciting front court than Flagg-Jalen Johnson-Lively

[zimpy27]

Posted this before but I think the cleanest is:

Mavs get Risacher, Okongwu, Mann

Hawks get Davis, Gafford (TPE)

Nah, dont see why Dallas would give up Gaff also and then take on Mann and not get any picks back. I think Jalen fits much better with Flagg than Risacher, and the latter fits with AD and with his rookie salary, helps Atl's $ more.

[enzino]

PJ Trade target/Mann

= Jrue Holiday?

I don't see JJ being up for grabs so easily, I think he's the least likely hawk to be traded.

I think every other combination gets thrown out there before JJ does.

It also doesn't make directional sense to give up JJ and keep Risacher when you trade for Davis. Clearly the idea is to try contend.

Sure add picks on

Dallas shouldnt touch Jrue unless Klay/Martin/Hardy or in this case Mann are going out. PJ has more value than Jru at this juncture, easy no
